We are SO thrilled to be offering this new team format to you all! I hope it is received as it is intended. . . as a way to give you more: more quality, more instructors, more class times, more convenience and more love + support! I am excited to bring you effective Zumba® classes that are jam packed with energy, infused with heart and more than a little sweaty. We've got what you want: we will each teach set classes that utilize shared choreography and have a team format that promotes cooperation, not competition. Class punchcards will be good with any Fitness Forward instructor. Our punchcards will be electronic so no more digging for that card! We will have 10 weekly Zumba® classtimes to fit into any schedule. Our classes will take place in two convenient locations that boast large dance floors, multiple bathrooms and more! And in support of your wellness journey, we will not push quick fix fad diet products on you. Our goal: An all-around approach to help people get healthier, happier, and more active! In our eyes, you come first. We look forward to seeing you in classes soon! -Roxanne

ABOUT ZUMBA® FITNESSYou're on the verge of trying Zumba®...

One of the biggest part-comment/part-questions I get from people is steeped in doubt and usually goes something like this… “Zumba. What is it? I’m not sure I can do it.” They go on to say, “I’ve never tried it . . . I’m really out of shape. . . I’m really uncoordinated. . . what happens if I can’t make it through class?”Our first reply is always the same. . . do not worry. Really. It is nothing worth fussing over. Quite the opposite. We are all there to have fun. No judgment. Any fitness level can feel comfortable doing Zumba. Zumba has a base in Latin dance, but I choreograph moves to repeat, not be too complex and have the ability to be easily followed and picked up. Missteps are inevitable and no big deal. We tell our classes that nobody is watching you. . . they’re more focused on their own moves! Besides, mistakes are just proof that you’re trying, right? Typically, for absolute out-of-shape beginners, you’re hooked from your first class. . . but by about your eighth class, moves become more natural, you’re more able to anticipate what's next, and your fitness and stamina are already improving. Even instructors have been known to be a fumbling giggling mess during their first class. Things can obviously change, but what won’t is how much fun it is and how much we love Zumba. It has reawakened a spirit within, and given us fit, strong and happy bodies. . . even after a combined six kids. But enough about us. Back to you. We encourage all class participants to modify the intensity of their movements to match their fitness level. Whether you’re an athlete or you haven’t exercised in years, you can take the class at your pace. Jump higher and squat lower if you desire or take a moment by walking in place to catch your breath. Just keep moving. You will smile, you will sweat, you will accomplish goals. But first, you must try. Check it out for yourself by coming to class.

What is Zumba®?

The Zumba® program is an effective, exhilarating, Latin-inspired, easy-to-follow, calorie-burning dance-fitness party that has taken the fitness industry by storm. Zumba® achieves a perfect balance of an all-over fitness experience. . . a progressive core workout, full-body cardio, strength training, and a stress-relieving, energy-producing workout in disguise. We fell in love when we took our first classes years ago. Today, more than 12 million people all sizes, shapes and ages take weekly Zumba® classes in over 110,000 locations across more than 125 countries. We design our classes to be easy-to-follow for both newcomers and Zumba® veterans. Boring? Oh no. Each of our 60 minute Zumba® classes use music and moves full of infectious fun... we can't help but simultaneously sweat and smile. Come experience a class in-person.
